/**
* Subclass of {@link LuaFunction} common to Java functions exposed to lua.
*
* To provide for common implementations in JME and JSE,
* library functions are typically grouped on one or more library classes
* and an opcode per library function is defined and used to key the switch
* to the correct function within the library.
*
* Since lua functions can be called with too few or too many arguments,
* and there are overloaded {@link LuaValue#call()} functions with varying
* number of arguments, a Java function exposed in lua needs to handle the
* argument fixup when a function is called with a number of arguments
* differs from that expected.
*
* To simplify the creation of library functions,
* there are 5 direct subclasses to handle common cases based on number of
* argument values and number of return return values.
*
* - {@link ZeroArgFunction}
* - {@link OneArgFunction}
* - {@link TwoArgFunction}
* - {@link ThreeArgFunction}
* - {@link VarArgFunction}
*
*
* To be a Java library that can be loaded via {@code require}, it should have
* a public constructor that returns a {@link LuaValue} that, when executed,
* initializes the library.
*
* For example, the following code will implement a library called "hyperbolic"
* with two functions, "sinh", and "cosh":
{@code
* import org.luaj.vm2.LuaValue;
* import org.luaj.vm2.lib.*;
*
* public class hyperbolic extends TwoArgFunction {
*
* public hyperbolic() {}
*
* public LuaValue call(LuaValue modname, LuaValue env) {
* LuaValue library = tableOf();
* library.set( "sinh", new sinh() );
* library.set( "cosh", new cosh() );
* env.set( "hyperbolic", library );
* return library;
* }
*
* static class sinh extends OneArgFunction {
* public LuaValue call(LuaValue x) {
* return LuaValue.valueOf(Math.sinh(x.checkdouble()));
* }
* }
*
* static class cosh extends OneArgFunction {
* public LuaValue call(LuaValue x) {
* return LuaValue.valueOf(Math.cosh(x.checkdouble()));
* }
* }
*}
*}
* The default constructor is used to instantiate the library
* in response to {@code require 'hyperbolic'} statement,
* provided it is on Java"s class path.
* This instance is then invoked with 2 arguments: the name supplied to require(),
* and the environment for this function. The library may ignore these, or use
* them to leave side effects in the global environment, for example.
* In the previous example, two functions are created, 'sinh', and 'cosh', and placed
* into a global table called 'hyperbolic' using the supplied 'env' argument.
*
* To test it, a script such as this can be used:
*
{@code
* local t = require('hyperbolic')
* print( 't', t )
* print( 'hyperbolic', hyperbolic )
* for k,v in pairs(t) do
* print( 'k,v', k,v )
* end
* print( 'sinh(.5)', hyperbolic.sinh(.5) )
* print( 'cosh(.5)', hyperbolic.cosh(.5) )
* }
*
* It should produce something like:
*
{@code
* t table: 3dbbd23f
* hyperbolic table: 3dbbd23f
* k,v cosh function: 3dbbd128
* k,v sinh function: 3dbbd242
* sinh(.5) 0.5210953
* cosh(.5) 1.127626
* }
*
* See the source code in any of the library functions
* such as {@link BaseLib} or {@link TableLib} for other examples.
